Gelidonya Feneri

About Gelidonya Feneri

The Gelidonya lighthouse, also known as the Taşlıkburnu lighthouse, stands on Taşlık Burnu in Kumluca and, according to the Culture Portal, is the highest lighthouse on the Turkish coast. It was built on rocks. The lighthouse lies on the Lycian Way. On this section of the trail, a path heads south from the settlement of Karaöz along a dirt road to the tip of the peninsula, then turns off at a waymark and climbs through forest to a slope overlooking the cape and the lighthouse. It then descends through the forest and runs parallel to the coast towards Adrasan. The ancient city of Melanippe, at Korsan Koyu, is on the same section. Camping is possible near the lighthouse. The lighthouse is within the Beydağları Coastal National Park and is protected as national heritage by the Directorate General of Coastal Safety.
